Increasing the hydrogen storage capacity of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) through facile impregnation by TiO2, ZrO2 and ZnO nanocatalysts
Various nanocomposites of TiO2, ZnO and ZrO2 decorated single wall Carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were fabricated by facile and template free continuous ultrasonication/stirring of virgin metal oxide nanopowders and SWNTs in ethanol under UV-light illumination. The TEM micrographs showed that nanoparticles (NPs) were uniformly dispersed and bonded on the surface of SWNTs. The results of XRD as well a...
متن کاملHydrogen Storage Capacity of Carbon-Foams: Grand CanonicalMonte Carlo Simulations
Hydrogen storage in the three-dimensional carbon foams is analyzed using classical grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The calculated storage capacities of the foams meet the material-based DOE targets and are comparable to the capacities of a bundle of wellseparated similar diameter open nanotubes. The pore sizes in the foams are optimized for the best hydrogen uptake. The capacity depend...
متن کاملTheoretical evaluation of hydrogen storage capacity in pure carbon nanostructures
Carbon nanotubes have been proposed as promising hydrogen storage materials for the automotive industry. By theoretical analyses and total-energy density functional theory calculations, we show that contribution from physisorption in nanotubes, though significant at liquid nitrogen temperature, should be negligible at room temperature; contribution from chemisorption has a theoretical upper lim...
متن کاملinvestigation of the electronic properties of carbon and iii-v nanotubes
boron nitride semiconducting zigzag swcnt, $b_{cb}$$n_{cn}$$c_{1-cb-cn}$, as a potential candidate for making nanoelectronic devices was examined. in contrast to the previous dft calculations, wherein just one boron and nitrogen doping configuration have been considered, here for the average over all possible configurations, density of states (dos) was calculated in terms of boron and nitrogen ...
15 صفحه اولCarbon nanotube initiated formation of carbon nanoscrolls
The unique topology and exceptional properties of carbon nanoscrolls CNSs have inspired unconventional nanodevice concepts, yet the fabrication of CNSs remains rather challenging. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate the spontaneous formation of a CNS from graphene on a substrate, initiated by a carbon nanotube CNT . The rolling of graphene into a CNS is modulated by the CNT siz...
